In guessing the left is Proton but those icons are about as bad as googles.

MODERATORS
They might have actually somehow managed to come up with worse logos than Google uses. I assume the top one is an email app, the bottom left is a file manager, and bottom centre is a password manager? But I'm less than certain about those, and everything else is a complete mystery.
From top left to bottom right, horizontal first:
- Password Manager
- Calendar
- VPN
- Drive
- Authenticator
- Mascot for their LLM
The only ones that are a bit ambiguous are the Password Manager and the VPN logos imo

How was I supposed to infer the meaning of those?

Its amazing, in an era where our phones have higher res than monitors did 20 years ago, icons have less detail.
Like show a damn calendar for the calendar icon. Hell, the ANSI emoji would be better. 📆

I don't trust proton either
The company could flip any time but for now their products are pretty good as a google alternative. I use the calendar, mail, cloud, contacts and vpn app and have zero complaints. Plus they couldn't access any of my data if they wanted to.
they couldn’t access any of my data if they wanted to.
I am not so sure that's true
The thing is, it's not true about any E2E encryption where all parts of the codebase are controlled by the company.
It could be as simple as updating their website to send your password to them in plain text while logging in, now the encryption is useless as they would have your password.

i trust them more than google. they've been a little sketchy lately (bc of the ai stuff, not the ceos political stuff) but at least only one entity has my data this way. I'd rather self-host but i can't rn.

Both aren't really private. Both is a for-profit company claiming it to be private.
For-profit company and private are not mutually exclusive though. Mullvad VPN for example is ~~as much~~ a for-profit company ~~as~~ unlike proton which is nonprofit, and arguably also one of the most private VPN services available.
Proton is a non-profit.
No. Proton is a for profit company whose largest shareholder is a non profit foundation. As is written right in your linked post. The foundation is not the company.
Somebody get this user some lemmy silver.
Oh. Didn't know lol. I just saw Proton blabla non-profit blabla and jumped to a conclusion too fast like I always do 🥴

No matter who someone is, don't give them all of your personal property.
I use Protonmail from Proton. That's it.
Same. And once i stop procrastinating i want to set up my own email server as well.
I only use one subscription service in my life and it's email from proton. I once knew a sysadmin who said that self-hosting email is a full-time job. So I just pay for my email with a reputable company and have my own domain name attached. His comment scared me off for good. But other people have said it's not that hard. Please write me your experience , ok?

Design brief: Make them look like the google suite but purple. The harder it is to work out what the app does from the logo, the better.

It's hilarious that OP thought going full in o proton is the other end of the "I love privacy" spectrum. How the fuck are you here on lemmy and that uneducated and ignorant on all this? These are two people a couple of steps away from each other on one end, not even close to what the meme actually is. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this was rage bait, because it's dumb enough to be that. Or a proton shill, which definitely exists here.

This meme format is sexist. Why is it always always always the woman who has the negative side?
You would have to be terminally online to be upset over something this trivial

One day account with only one post, from someone who probably never hosted mails 😂
Proton lol. You're such a joker
Left: People that can't selfhost
Right: People that have never heard of it
For a moment I wasn't sure which one of the two would be better. After careful consideration I decided both are noobs, because real pros only use emacs rigged to behave as the whole OS on an airgapped 15 year old thinkpad for anything that needs a computer, but most likely keep that in a vault too and only get it when absolutely necessary.
What is that cat-owl thing for?
Slop (but "privacy first")
That's Luma, Proton's LLM chatbot.
Well it’s the first non-butthole LLM logo I’ve seen.
It was the only app icon with the slightest hint of character. Absolutely a bummer that it’s slop.
Eh it's functional and a tool. It unlike other LLMs isn't being shoved forward as a slop creator. It's just another tool in a box.
LLMs are extremely useful for a small number of things and having it as a tool is useful.
Frankly if LLMs were like lumo instead of chatgpt people wouldn't be calling them slop. Cause they wouldn't be shitting out slop and being shoved in our faces.
A tool should exist. And it should sit there and be ignorable till needed. And fucking nothing else. Which is exactly what lumo is.
Aka the only actually fucking half way decent LLM so far.

Both stupid
We all know privacy is purple, we just can't agree on the exact shade.
Why's Summer using shite software. Tom was the one operating under a delusion in that film
Just like in the movie. Tom is indeed delusional, Summer is just cynical in her communications. They are both using shit software. Tom is putting all his fate on a single private company in pursuit of a misguided ideal and ignoring the red flags through rose tinted glasses. Summer doesn't want to commit at all because she knows there's much more complex factors at play than privacy alone but hasn't yet found someone who makes her feel safe and secure the way she wants, so she settles temporarily for what feels fun in the moment.
